DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from A Dickens Dictionary: The Characters and Scenes of the Novels and Miscellaneous Works Alphabetically Arranged The explanation is necessary to understand the arrange ment of the Dictionary, but a short description may save some time in the case of occasional references. The entries are arranged as far as possible in alphabetical order. I say as far as possible, because numerous entries under words such as Boy make it impossible to select an alphabetical order that will commend itself to every reader. The de scriptive passage beneath the entry is taken from the novel or work. The note descriptive of the place of the character, or of the place, as the book progresses, follows in smaller type preceded by the word note. Following this, in a different style of type, is the original where a prototype is known. These are due sometimes to my own investigation, but in the majority of cases they are collected from a variety of sources. Even' if they are unlikely they are mentioned, but with a caution as to their reliability. The works I have drawn upon are too numerous for individual mention, and include a very large number of miscellaneous cuttings from periodicals of all kinds.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This book is devoted to the description of typical trends in development, formation and the present state of English Author Lexicography, the roots of which go back to concordances to the Bible and glossaries of the complete works of Chaucer (xvi c.). Part I, “Linguistic Dictionaries to English Writers,” presents lexicographic analysis of old and new concordances, indices, glossaries and lexicons of famous English writers with special reference to Chaucer, Milton, Shakespeare, and Dickens. It presents a modern scene of author glossaries for unfamiliar words, terms and other groups of writers’ vocabulary (e.g. Shakespeare’s insults and his erotic language). The reader is offered a detailed review of author concordances, glossaries and lexicons on the Internet, along with criticism of printed dictionaries. Part II, “Encyclopedic Reference Works to English Writers,” deals with English author encyclopedic reference books, i.e. encyclopedias, guides and companions; dictionaries of characters and place names; quotations and proverbs, and Internet encyclopedic resources. The book also provides a comprehensive list of references on author lexicography and an Index of Dictionaries to the English Writers (xvi–xxi cc.), including 300 titles of linguistic and encyclopedic dictionaries, which is a reliable user guide in the world of English author lexicography.
